Solidification of the liquids

Solidification of the liquid which remain inside the pump for the certain period of time causes damage to the connecting rod, diaphragms holding plates, valves.

Fluids prone to solidification (such as ceramic pulps, glue, resins, tars, bitumen, sludge, etc.), which harden when exposed to oxygen in the air, solvent evaporation, water evaporation and temperature shouldn’t remain inside the pump and the piping if the pump won’t be use during some period of time.

The time during which products can be left unused inside the pump and piping system not endangering them is very different. It depends from liquid characteristic and pump working conditions. In generally, it is a period of few hours.

After pump work and prior hours of non-use a flushing should be made to avoid pump damage and costly refurbishment. When the pump flushing (which is the best option) is not possible, then valve on suction line should be closed, and the pump run dry from a few to a dozen seconds.

Another possible solution – is a usage of special YTS connecting rod made from hardened steel with a system of mounting diaphragms discs that prevent their distortion.
